I have two kittens that are about 14 weeks old and the mom still lets them suckle constantly! It is almost impossible to seperate them. Is this normal? I don't think it is! Is there anything i can do? Or will she eventually not let them suckle anymore?

It is normal... They will keep doing it as long as she lets them
All you can do is seperate them...

You can certainly separate them....are you keeping them or are you trying to place them? Also, now is a good time to have mom spayed.

I kept one of our 8 kittens - 5 months old, and he still suckles. Mom takes it some, then will push him away after a bit. Whatever the mom is comfortable with is probably what is normal!

Missy's kittens are 19 weeks and still trying to nurse, like kluchetta said momma will kick them away when she's had enough
